Prelim task!

Where we filmed and what role did i play:
My group filmed in room N10,where we changed to set to a police questioning room. This was perfect as the room was dark and only had one table in the middle of the room. We also had a gun and handcuffs for props. My role was mainly as the camera man. i filmed alot of the footage and set up the camera each time we moved it.
Lighting:
The lighting mainly came from a small lamp on the table. It was the main source of lighting we had. It was effective and important to the scene as it set the scene. It is a cliche that all questioning rooms are dark with a lamp on the table.
filming:
The camera was already set up when we entered the room. I then moved it in place for the first shot and bubbled it so it was at the right angle. I setted the camera to f 2.8, as the room was dark and more light was needed to enter the camera. We filmed the whole footage in each shots, for example, we filmed the whole footage in midshot then filmed the same footage in over the shoulder shot. In the whole footage we followed the 180 degree rule. this means that we can only film on one side of the scene. We used words like standby, action and cut to let the people on the set know what was happpening. This exercise has help me alot as it has taught me how to use the camera properly and how to film a footage.
